Cannot write to SD card

[usdharris]

I'm trying to write an image using Windows 7 and Raspian Lite to a microSD 32G card. I'm wanting to set up a boot to a Pi Zero setting the wireless SSID and PW for a headless boot. Unfortunately, when I attempt to write the image I get this error in the inspector. I have tried both Lite and Full versions and I have reinstalled the PiBakery twice. Hopefully I can get this straightened out. Thanks.

C:\Program Files (x86)\PiBakery\resources\app\node_modules\bluebird\js\release\async.js:61 Uncaught Error: Command failed: wmic logicaldisk get caption,volumename,drivetype 'wmic' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Sorry to hear you're having issues with PiBakery.

The reason for this is probably that the %SystemRoot%\System32\wbem directory isn't in your PATH environment variable. That's interesting to note as when writing PiBakery I'd made the assumption that it always would be.

There are two fixes:

1. In the next version of PiBakery I'll include an update that means that it will work without the assumption that %SystemRoot%\System32\wbem is in the PATH variable

2. In the meantime, the easiest fix is to simply add that string to the path variable - see this SuperUser answer on how to do this but it basically comes down to:

   1. Open My Computer, right-click that window and click Properties
   2. In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.
   3. In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.
   4. In the Environment Variables window, highlight the PATH variable in the Systems Variable section and click the Edit button.
   5. If there's not already a semicolon at the end of the PATH, then append one at the end
   6. Then append %SystemRoot%\System32\wbem at the end

Thank you. That did the trick. I was at least able to save the image. Unfortunately the image failed to boot the pi zero though. I worked around and loaded a stretch lite version and created a wpa_supplicant.conf file to make the connection. I’ll try to get back to it and try the PiBakery version later and see where I must have messed up. Thanks again though.
